Overview

D’Amico Pettinicchi Injury Lawyers – Fighting the Good Fight Since 1990

Founded in 1990 by attorneys Mike D’Amico and Tom Pettinicchi, our firm was built on one simple belief: people injured by negligence deserve fierce, compassionate advocacy. We don’t represent corporations or insurance companies — we represent people. Those whose lives have been forever changed by injury, medical malpractice, or loss. And we fight for them as if they were family.

Over 35 years later we’ve remained a small, focused firm to provide the personalized, compassionate advocacy every client deserves — with a proven record that includes some of the largest verdicts in Connecticut history. That approach gets results, including some of the largest verdicts in Connecticut history. We bring decades of exclusive experience in personal injury and medical malpractice law — and we’re ready to Fight The Good Fight.
